CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award: Motorola CDMA Femtocells
The concept of the femtocell has fascinated me ever since the September 25 post about the Motorola digital picture frame that used femtocells.
(The femtocell is explained on this website.)
Apparently, I’m not the only person to be impressed by Motorola’s wireless touch-screen digital picture frame with a built-in femtocell: KeepMeConnected© Femtocells-CDMA 9100 Series has been selected as an honoree of the CES Innovations 2009 Design and Engineering Awards, in the Furniture product category.
The CDMA Femtocell 9100 Series includes a SIP VoIP soft phone and provides enhanced mobile phone coverage inside the home. It also allows users to deploy a femtocell connected through a broadband connection for optimal wireless performance and coverage. The device also serves as a touch-screen digital picture frame.
With this, consumers can have both a multi-use phone for both landline and cell, with one bill and a single service provider. The integrated digital picture frame allows consumers to display images that reflect their personal style.
You will find the KeepMeConnected© Femtocells – CDMA 9100 in Motorola’s booth 8545 and the Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase at the Sands Expo and Convention Center at the Venetian, booth 72062.
Now, pay attention to this video, and you’ll see what these things actually can do.

I’m not sure consumers want cell sites in their house to boost
coverage. To much work required by the subscriber. I think people
just choose a carriers that have good coverage.
